I wanted to see a console that could wirelessly stream into more than one room at a time, obviously that means a performance hit for each game being played, probably maxed out at 3.. Or multiplayer, a person in each room, console in the living room, streaming to each TV thru a little receiver..
I don't think that will happen next gen tho.. Sony and Microsoft and even Nintendo still have a ways to go before the hardware is maxed out to the point that an increase in capabilities can't really improve what you see on screen..
However to say 'Microsoft is in a unique position to capatalise' is a little naive as any one of the 3 big companies could do what you are suggesting... Yes Microsoft has the PC advantage but why couldn't sony come with a DVD to put an app on the PC? Why couldn't Nintendo redefine the interface once more to make the console a more core product? They seem to be going that way anyway..
Good read though *claps*
